I was very surprised to see that there is a type of coffee that actually comes from beans that have passed through a small furry mammal’s bottom!!

The locals collect the poohy beans up in forests in Sumatra.

It’s also supposed to be good for your health, but this has yet to be proven:

But the strange thing is it don’t taste half bad! Least not to me!

I wrote about this a year ago. Not sure whether its real or a Javanese scam.
